Everyone has a story to tell and every story has a message. I partner with individuals, companies, and NGOs to develop their unique stories and messages. My area of expertise is stories that are spoken, including presentations, pitches, and conversations. I particularly enjoy partnering with early stage startups to create investor and customer-facing pitches, individuals developing their speaking platform, and NGOs in need of a strategic communications plan and supporting material.

Visual storytelling requires three things: the story, the visuals, and the telling. I worked with our clients through the entire process to create and deliver a compelling narrative. My involvement starts at the discovery phase with interviews, research, and facilitating discovery sessions with clients to create audience profiles, and define the high-level story arc. I collaborate with designers and art directors to create story concepts, and then develop them into a narrative, complete with speaker notes and compelling visuals. When the presentation is complete, I coach and equip presenters to deliver their message with confidence.
